18:019:014 My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.

18:019:015 They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.

18:019:016 I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth.

18:019:017 My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body.

18:019:018 Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.

18:019:019 All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.

18:019:020 My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.

18:019:021 Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.

18:019:022 Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?

18:019:023 Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
